AMENDED AND RESTATED CONSULTING AGREEMENT
THIS IS A CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) by and between XXXXXX XXXXX (the
“Consultant”), and XXXXXX XXXXXXXX MATERIALS, INC., a North Carolina corporation (the “Company”),
and by which parties to this Agreement, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth below
and other good and valuable consideration (the mutuality, adequacy, and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged), hereby agrees as follows:
1. Consulting.
(a) Services. During the term of this Agreement, the Consultant will provide
management consulting and advisory services to the Company in accordance with the highest
professional standards with respect to the Company’s business (the “Business”). The Consultant’s
services to the Company shall include, but will not be limited to, those described on Exhibit A
attached hereto and incorporated herein. The Consultant shall perform such duties as and when
reasonably requested by the Company but shall not be required to spend more than an average of
twenty (20) hours per month performing such duties. Consultant shall also cooperate with other
consultants as requested by the Company. Consultant shall report to the Company’s
representative(s) listed on attached Exhibit A with respect to Consultant’s activities under this
Agreement and, if requested, shall submit monthly (or as otherwise may be requested by the Company)
a written report summarizing such activities for the prior month. Consultant acknowledges receipt
of a copy of the Company’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct and shall perform his services
under this Agreement in accordance with the Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct. Prior to
submitting any written reports under this Agreement, Consultant shall first submit an initial
report, clearly marked “draft,” which report shall be finalized only after approval by the Company.
(b) Compensation and Expenses. For all services to be provided under this Agreement,
the Company shall pay the Consultant at the rate set forth on attached Exhibit A. The Company
shall also reimburse the Consultant in accordance with Company policy for all reasonable expenses
incurred by Consultant while rendering services under this Agreement. Consultant shall submit no
less than monthly to the Company the expenses for which Consultant seeks reimbursement provided
that failure to do so will not relieve the Company from its obligation to reimburse the Consultant
for reasonable expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall not reimburse
Consultant for any expenses incurred in entertaining or furnishing meals, refreshments, or gifts to
anyone whose organization prohibits acceptance of such items. Consultant certifies that no such
expenses shall be included in any invoice or statement submitted by Consultant for reimbursement of
expenses.
(c) Competitive Activities. During the term of this Agreement and any renewal
thereof, Consultant shall not become employed by, provide consulting services to, or otherwise
assist any other person or business entity engaged in the same business as the Business, except
with the prior written consent of the Company.
1
(d) Independent Contractor. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Consultant is an
independent contractor of the Company and not an employee or agent of the Company, and each of the
parties to this Agreement agrees to take actions consistent with the foregoing. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, or other association between
the parties.
(e) Work Papers. All final work product and work papers directly relating thereto
prepared or developed by the Consultant in connection with the performance of services pursuant to
this Agreement, including public records obtained by the Consultant, shall be the property of the
Company whether or not in the possession of the Consultant. Upon demand, Consultant should turn
over papers in his possession to the Company.
(f) Nondisclosure. The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that, during the
performance of services under this Agreement, the Consultant will have access to knowledge and
information with respect to (i) trade secrets or (ii) certain confidential or proprietary
information of the Company or its affiliates, successors, or assigns or any of its operations or
products (including without limitation plans, brochures, blueprints, specifications, samples [or
products or equipment], pamphlets, advertising copy, financial information, customer lists, and
business and marketing plans, formulas, methods, techniques, and processes owned by or developed or
prepared by, or on behalf of, the Company or its affiliates, successors, or assigns involving the
Business and any other information generated by or on behalf of the Company or its affiliates,
successors, or assigns not generally known in the trade or industry, in each case whether such
information is embodied in writing or other physical form or communicated or disclosed in any other
manner [“Confidential Information"]). Therefore, the Consultant agrees [x] not at any time to
divulge, furnish, or make accessible to anyone (other than in the regular course of the performance
of services for the benefit of the Company or its affiliates, successors, or assigns) any trade
secrets of the Company or its affiliates, successors, or assigns and [y] during the full term of
this Agreement and for a period of three (3) years thereafter, not to divulge, furnish, or make
accessible to anyone (other than in the regular course of the performance of services for the
benefit of the Company or its affiliates, successors, or assigns) any Confidential Information of
the Company or its affiliates, successors, or assigns unless required by law to make such
disclosure.
(g) Compliance with Law. In performing services under this Agreement, the Consultant
agrees to comply with applicable laws and regulations and to not make or permit to be made any
improper payments, or to perform any unlawful acts. To that end, the Consultant agrees to sign the
certification attached to the Company’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct and further agrees
to sign such further certifications as may be requested by the Company from time to time.
(h)
Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Consultant
against any losses or expenses resulting from the Consultant’s service at the request and on behalf
of the Corporation as a director of another corporation, joint venture or other enterprise.

2. Term and Termination following a Change of Control.
(a) Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for a period of three (3) years
beginning on July 2, 2006 and ending on June 30, 2009; provided, however, that the
Company and the Consultant may renew the Agreement for additional periods of time upon their mutual
written consent.
(b) Termination following a 409A Change of Control while Consultant is a Specified

(a “Specified Employee”) within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs that is also a
“change in the ownership or effective control” of the Company within the meaning of Section
409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code (a “409A Change of Control”), the Company shall pay to the Consultant,
in a lump sum within 15 days following the effective date of such 409A Change of Control, the
compensation listed on Exhibit A hereto for the remaining portion of the term of this Agreement and
any amounts owed to the Consultant pursuant to Section 1(b) above and immediately following such
payment this Agreement and Consultant’s consulting and advisory services shall terminate.
(c) Termination following a Non 409A Change of Control while Consultant is a Specified
Employee. If during the term of this Agreement and while Consultant is a Specified Employee a
Change of Control occurs that is not a 409A Change of Control, and following the effective date of
such Change of Control either party terminates this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the
Consultant, in a lump sum (i) within 15 days following such termination any amounts owed to the
Consultant pursuant to Section 1(b) above and (ii) on the date that is six months and one day
following such termination, the compensation listed on Exhibit A hereto for the remaining portion
of the term of this Agreement.
(d) Termination following a Change of Control while Consultant is Not a Specified
Employee. If during the term of this Agreement and while Consultant is not a Specified
Employee a Change of Control occurs, and following the effective date of such Change of Control
either party terminates this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Consultant, in a lump sum
within 15 days following such termination, the compensation listed on Exhibit A hereto for the
remaining portion of the term of this Agreement and any amounts owed to the Consultant pursuant to
Section 1(b) above.

entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (an “Acquiring Person”) of beneficial ownership (within
the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 40% or more of either (A) the
fully diluted shares of common stock of the Company, as reflected on the Company’s financial
statements (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”), or (B) the combined voting power of the then
outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that
for purposes of this subsection (i), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of
Control: (X) any acquisition by the Company or any “affiliate” of the Company, within the meaning
of 17 C.F.R. § 230.405 (an “Affiliate”), (Y) any acquisition by any employee
3

Incumbent Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of
the Company; or (iii) consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in
each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the
individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business
Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then
outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the
corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation
which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s
assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions
as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the Outstanding Company
Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, and (B) no Person
(excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or
any Affiliate of the Company, or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any
Affiliate of such corporation) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 40% or more of,
respectively, the fully diluted shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such
Business Combination, as reflected on such corporation’s financial statements, or the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent
that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (C) at least a majority of the
members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were
members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the
action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or (iv) approval by the shareholders
of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. “Incumbent Board”

affiliate (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) or an associate (as defined in Rule 12b-2
of the Exchange Act) of an Acquiring Person, or a representative or nominee of an Acquiring Person.
3. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notice. All notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and given either in
person or by telefax or express overnight service to the address of the party to this Agreement as
a party to this Agreement may furnish to the other as provided in this sentence, and shall be
deemed received on the date of personal delivery or confirmed telefax transmission or on the first
business day after sent by express overnight service; and if notice is given pursuant to the
foregoing of a permitted successor or assign, then notice shall thereafter be given pursuant to the
foregoing to such permitted successor or assign.

(b) Assignment: Binding Effect. No assignment, transfer, or delegation of any rights
or obligations under this Agreement by a party shall be made without the prior written consent of
the other party to this Agreement (but given the personal nature of the services to be provided by
the Consultant to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, it is not expected that consent to
assignment, transfer or delegation by the Consultant will be granted). This Agreement shall be
binding upon the parties to this Agreement and their respective legal representatives, heirs,
devisees, legatees, or other successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
to this Agreement and their respective permitted legal representatives, heirs, devisees, legatees,
or other permitted successors and assigns.
(c) Interpretation; Captions. Whenever the context so requires, the singular number
shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular, and the gender of any pronoun
shall include the other genders. Titles and captions of or in this Agreement are inserted only as
a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way affect the scope for this Agreement or the
intent of its provisions.
(d) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties
to this Agreement with respect to its subject matter, supersedes all prior agreements, if any, of
the parties to this Agreement with respect to its subject matter, and may not be amended except in
writing signed by the party to this Agreement against whom the change is being asserted.
(e) No Waiver. The failure of any party to this Agreement at any time or times to
require the performance of any provisions of this Agreement shall in no manner affect the right to
enforce the same; and no waiver by any party to this Agreement of any provision (or of a breach of
any provision) of this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances,
shall be deemed or construed either as a further or continuing waiver of any such provision or
breach or as a waiver of any other provision (or of a breach of any other provision) of this
Agreement.
(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to principles of conflict
or choice of law. Any legal action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement must be
brought in the federal courts located in Raleigh, North Carolina, and by execution and delivery of
this Agreement, each party accepts the jurisdiction of said courts and waives any defense it may
have as to improper venue or jurisdiction (subject matter or personal) or that any of the said
courts is an inconvenient forum. The parties hereby waive their right to a jury trial and agree
that any such action will be tried to the court sitting without a jury.
(g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more copies, each of which
shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement or its
terms to produce or account for more than one of such copies.
(h) Section 409A Compliance. To the extent that any payments or benefits provided
hereunder are considered nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code,
the Company and the Consultant intend for this Agreement to comply with the
5
standards for nonqualified deferred compensation provided by Section 409A of the Code (the “409A
Standards”). To the extent that any terms of this Agreement would subject the Consultant to an
additional tax pursuant to Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code, those terms are to that extent
modified to be compliant with the 409A Standards, such modification to be limited to the least
modification necessary to bring such terms into compliance with the 409A Standards while preserving
to the maximum extent practicable the original intent and economic benefit to the Consultant. The
Company reserves the right to amend this Agreement at any time without the Consultant’s consent to
cause this Agreement, or any terms of this Agreement, to either comply with or be exempt from
Section 409A of the Code and the 409A Standards.
